A team of students and teachers from the HSE Learner Corpora Laboratory attended the 5^th Learner Corpus Research Conference in Warsaw, where they presented their new project aimed at creating an automated assistant for Russian learners of English. The team included Anton Buzanov, Elizaveta Yershova, Daria Overnikova, Alexander Sergienko, and Olga Vinogradova. They also presented two posters: one poster on criteria for measuring text complexity, which can be used to automatically assess the sophistication of students’ English essays (by Irina Panteleeva, Olga Lyashevskaya, and Olga Vinogradova), and another on punctuation error analysis in English texts written by HSE students (by Anna Viklova and Olga Vinogradova). The conference was held at the Institute of Applied Linguistics, University of Warsaw.
